A Sacred Space

for Sensitive Souls

Once upon a time, she journeyed deep within, rescued herself and became the love of her life. True story.

Hello! I'm Danae. And, I am a highly sensitive person, an empath and a mystic.

I’ve walked the path of sensitivity, intuition, and healing. Like you, I’ve felt the challenges of existing in a world that doesn’t always understand. My mission is to create a sanctuary where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal. Using a blend of trauma-informed techniques, plant medicine, and spiritual guidance, I offer a holistic approach to healing that honors your sensitivity and guides you toward your true essence.

The unfolding of my own healing led me to my soul's purpose - to swim in the depths of the human psyche, guiding and holding space for other sensitive souls to rescue themselves. This truth is shared with humility and reverence for the courage it takes to go into the dark places of ourselves. You are here, now, preparing to dive in, and my heart is with you!

What story is my soul here to tell? The story of compassionate truth. Being stuck in an un-serving narrative, "What's wrong with me?", "I am too much.", "I am not enough.", "I don't fit in." can seem impossible to climb out of. We become entrenched in the telling and retelling until the path is worn so well that there seems to be no other way. I am here to hold a mirror up to your own story, reflecting a higher perspective so you can see the truth through a lens of self-compassion.

What story is my soul here to heal? The story of oneness. There is a fracture in the story of oneness resulting in people feeling alone, ashamed, or unworthy. As if parts of us don't belong. These are the parts of ourselves that we banish into the depths of our being. Together we can recover the banished pieces, the ones lost in the depths, so that you and I and all the rest can be whole. We are one!

My Hero Story

For decades I was a striving go-getter and a people-pleaser driven by a strong desire to achieve and fit in the way we "should". By 2012, I had spent a decade climbing the cooperate ladder to achieve a successful career as a financial analyst on a multimillion dollar IT project. I was great at my job. I loved my partner and I had a brand-new baby. Everything was perfect. Except that it wasn't. Few people knew I was struggling to manage progressively severe depression that continued for years to come.

Until one day, I hit my limit. Enough was enough and something had to change.

I contacted a dear friend who is a gifted healer and together we began to prepare for my hero's journey. Since I'd been teaching self hypnosis since 2015 she suggested I create a hypnosis track as part of my ceremony preparation. Abracadabra! Session two of the Self-Paced Healing Journey was birthed.

My ceremony was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Right up there with a near-death experience and the birth of my first child. It was one day of intense self-exploration that changed everything.

I explored the vastness of emotion and learned that every single one sits on a platform of love. I discovered my True Self buried under a cloak of shame and conditioning. This insight lead me understand the depression I experienced was a shut-down trauma response - a natural adaptation. And that living life in my fullest, truest expression, with courageous honesty was the path back to a healthy, vibrant life. I saw how I had created my life (it was ugly!) and knew I had the power to change it. Overnight, I went from muted and numb to vibrant and spirited. I went from suffering to LIVING!

I say "overnight" because the journey itself elevated me out of depression. Through so many ups and downs, I have not experienced a single moment of depression since; however, it's important to know that deep healing requires mindful integration. For me, integration of that journey took a solid year. Part of which was finishing the remaining three tracks of the Self Paced Healing Journey I now offer to you.

My Method

I employ a trauma-informed approach combining transpersonal hypnosis techniques with somatic practices and Root Cause Therapy. My expertise encompasses in-depth knowledge of Internal Family Systems and Jungian theory of internal parts.

Integrating hypnosis with plant medicines, I facilitate psycho-spiritual self-reflection and activate innate self-healing capacities. My dedication to continuous learning and refining my practice is my constant pursuit of excellence.

My guidance blends experience, research, intuition, clair-cognition and an unwavering devotion to Divine Will and collective unity.

Together, we journey with the foundational knowing that you have everything you need to heal yourself. My job is to support you in this reclamation of this.

The results are illumination of shadow-self, profound self-love, an overall sense of peace and oneness, insights aligned with spiritual longing and increased clarity for life-direction.

How I Can Help

A Bit More About Me

I live a slow life on Quadra Island where I enjoy playing with my two young boys, hiking, wildcrafting, scuba diving, stone wrapping, reading and learning. You'll find me on the beach with a pocket full of rocks or in the forest tasting trees.
